My name is Andrew, and I’ve been hooked with dinosaurs ever since I watched Jurassic Parkon television at age 3. I started collecting dinosaurs at around age 4, when I got several Jurassic Park toys as well as a few others. However, I stopped collecting for a few years and have recently started getting back into it. While I love all types of dinosaurs, my favorite group is the sauropods. My other interests include drawing, skiing, hockey, and most of all, fishkeeping.
Not much can be said as to the accuracy of this figure.

Ornithomimids are a horribly under-represented family of dinosaurs when it comes to dinosaur toys. For such fascinating animals, this really is a shame. Fortunately, the few ornithomimid figures out there are usually quite well-made. The Battat Gallimimus is one of these.
Made in 1994 (a year after the dinosaur’s appearance in Jurassic Park I should add), this Gallimimus is part of the now revered and rare Battat line, made for the Boston Museum of Science.
